<h3 id="rationale">Rationale:</h3>
<p>ShellCheck expects directives to come before the relevant command.
They are not allowed after.</p>
<h3 id="exceptions">Exceptions:</h3>
<p>If this is not a directive and just a comment mentioning ShellCheck,
please rewrite or capitalize:</p>
<pre><code>var=1 # ShellCheck encourages lowercase variable names</code></pre>
